Australia Deploys Noise Cameras

[TaKz]

My tyres are pretty loud eh? Stock exhaust/air filter/turbo/car ftw!

I see these being mucked with a fair bit... I would totally just set up a speaker near by and have random loud noises happening and random times... like when that cyclist is riding past

hmmm time to take out the air horn

[FATAZZ]

haha first 10,000 fines all to cyclists

Well, the first thing to do is see what level it goes off at, and go from there

Im sure legislation to inform drivers will be posted, like bus cameras and speed cameras everyone will have a hissy fit about them.

hopefully this doesnt even need to get this bad.

yeah im sure it will,,,,, but im sure it the cammeras will be posted on a few main roads that trucks use (going down hill)..... and the rest will be adapted to be placed at setsof trafic lights that are situated halfway up a steep hill so us mo fo's with loud ass rb's get done just because we are trying to get up a hill from a standing start....atleast its not an instant fine and we have time to destroy the hard drive before somebody checks it...... sure they put cameras around them to deter this..... but as we all know people arn't really detered by cameras, if they were we wouldn't have property insurance, contents insurance and theft.....

put earmuffs on it.

for sure my car is loud as a truck when im going down a hill on the gears not the brakes. ive got no idea what db level they are set to monitor, but i can guarantee most of us are over it in the right circumstances

I hope they put one on Elizabeth Street in the city and defect half the buses off the road.

oh man, a wolf pack of harleys went past me on the way to work... I had my window down... fark me I hope this shit is put all over sydney!

I know my car is loud, but it's not THAT loud, not even at full noise! (which is loud)

[br3tt]

Cop sirens are loud?

lol. I live on elizabeth st and I was just thinking surely at least half the busses will fail. if you are anywhere near one you cannot hold a converstation at all and the noise actually hurts! even sitting idling away they are stupidly loud. at least a nice RB sounds good. these are just nasty noise. bikes are also insane. and what pisses me off the most is all the little pizza hut delivery guys on their scooters. I swear they modify the exhaust to make them sound crappier and louder and they feel the need to rev the crap out of them at any and every opportunity. really pisses me off. it's awesome just as you are falling asleep at midnight some wanker on his pizza hut scooter comes stops at the lights and starts revving the thing to 23,000rpm. I don't know why they are out so much, surely no one in the city actually wants to eat pizza hut anyway with so many great places to choose from? I think the city branches must just be a front for some kind of drug courier operation...

Don't you live in Chatswood Richard?

haha - true, but same deal with speed cameras - cop cars are fast and i doubt they get booked when they speed past them .

But also like speed cameras, as long as we know where they are, we will either avoid them or cruise past them in a higher gear, if that helps some of you (of cause depending on where they are placed eg. hills etc) so when we go down hill we will just have to pop it into neutral.... don't know about climbing hills tho...that will be a problem....

[SECURITY]

it would be funny to get a mate on a push bike to sit in the zone of the camera, and another one to set off the camera with an air horn or something... it should freak out the guys at the RTA when that one comes through the system.

[DECIM8]

a pack of harleys? I went on a cruise with 10,000 of them .. you couldnt imagine the sound thunder is soft in comparison.

[siddr20]

Oh so that new camera on the mount ousely isnt a speed camera???

I drove past it the day it was put up and i had no freaking idea what it was..

I drive to wollongong nearly everyday!!

BUT WAIT.. theres a flash behind it tho??? hmmm

Im sure its a speed camera and not a noise camera lol

[siddr20]

hmmm just checked the link.. the pic looks like its near the houses somewhere!!

Im 100% certain there is a new speed camera on mount ousely. Just after the truck inspection bay!!

Dont think its setup as there are no signs.. But it will catch a lot of people as you cant see it till the last sec.

[Vik]

Can it catch loud sound systems aswell =\ ??

And im sure to stay out of that area, my cars way too loud.

i talked to my truckie mate and he told me it measures the repititions of the air brake noise, thats how the camera tells if its a truck or car and thats what they're targeting with that particular camera, thats all he knows.

[Humbla]

I wish they put one of these in nowra,sick of getting blasted out of bed in the middle of the night by inconsiderit truckies.there's signs asking them to limit engine braking in town,yeah right. end whinge.
